Bangladesh ODI captain Tamim Iqbal has sparked a new controversy over his T20I future after the dashing opener posted a curious status before instantly deleting the post on Sunday night.

“We don’t have someone like Rovman Powell and that made the difference,” former Bangladesh captain Mohammad Ashraful said as he summed up the Tigers’ 35-run defeat in the second T20I against the West Indies in Dominica on Sunday.

Batting once again let Bangladesh down during their 35-run defeat against West Indies in the second of their three-match T20I series in Dominica on Sunday.

West Indies batter Rovman Powell was the big difference between the two sides in the second T20I at Dominica as he took the Bangladesh attack to the cleaners with a 28-ball 61. The Windies batter divulged on why he planned on going after Shakib Al Hasan in the 16th over.

Arsenal have completed the signing of Manchester City forward Gabriel Jesus for a fee of around £45 million ($54 million), the London club announced on Monday.

Contrasting half-centuries by Rovman Powell and Brandon King highlighted a formidable West Indies batting effort on the way to a 35-run victory over Bangladesh in the second T20 international in Dominica on Sunday.

Losing wickets at inopportune moments once again led to Bangladesh’s downfall. Shakib Al Hasan played a lone hand, scoring a fifty and writing his name in the record books but his innings came in vain as Windies clinched the second T20I at Dominica by 35 runs. With the victory, Windies take a 1-0 lead before the third and final T20I on July 7.

Bangladesh brought in pacer Taskin Ahmed in place of spinner Nasum Ahmed but did not find enough bite in the surface as Windies batters, in particular opener Brandon King and Rovman Powell put him to the sword. Shoriful Islam and Mustafizur Rahman fared better in the end overs but Windies put on a very challenging score of 193 for five.

West Indies won the toss and elected to bat in the second T20I at Dominica today.

Bangladesh head coach Russell Domingo expressed his frustration with the way Shakib Al Hasan got out after an excellent start in the first T20I against the West Indies in Dominica on Saturday, which was eventually abandoned due to rain.

Persistent showers spoiled the return of international cricket to Dominica as the scheduled first T20 of the three-match series between the West Indies and Bangladesh at Windsor Park was declared a no-result on Saturday.

The 37-year-old expressed his desire to compete for the biggest trophies in Europe and a lack of Champions League football at Old Trafford proved to be the final straw.

Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah on Friday signed a long-term contract extension, putting an end to a lengthy saga about his future at the Premier League club.

Bangladesh cricketers had a distressing experience during their sea voyage from Saint Lucia to Dominica on Thursday.

Alvaro Morata will return to Atletico Madrid after his loan at Juventus comes to an end on Thursday, the Serie A club have announced.

Following batting debacles which led to a  whitewash in the Test series against the West Indies, Bangladesh batting coach Jamie Siddons has shifted his focus towards the limited-overs formats as the Tigers prepare to take on the hosts in a three-match T20I series, starting on Saturday. 

Angel Di Maria would be a great signing for Juventus who can emulate former Real Madrid team-mates Karim Benzema and Luka Modric by playing at an elite level in his mid-30s. That is the view of Iker Casillas, who played alongside Di Maria when Madrid won their 10th UEFA Champions League title in 2013/14.

Bangladesh’s lack of Test culture has created a buzz in the media recently. Head coach Russell Domingo has spoken numerous times about creating such a culture since taking the reins, but the issue keeps coming to the fore, especially after disastrous losses.

Bangladesh all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan has asked the board verbally to be excused from the upcoming ODI series against the West Indies next month, confirmed Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) president Nazmul Hassan Papon today. 

Romelu Lukaku said he was "very happy" to be back after the Belgian international striker arrived in Milan on Wednesday  ahead of his return to Inter Milan on loan from Chelsea.
